  "summary": "The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has honoured the late OMPADEC chairman, Chief Albert Horsfall, by naming an ancillary building at the NDDC headquarters after him. NDDC Governing Board Chairman, Chiedu Ebie, praised Horsfall's significant contributions to the development of the Niger Delta region and his promotion of unity within Nigeria. Following the dissolution of OMPADEC, five panels cleared Horsfall of corruption allegations. In recognition of his contributions, the NDDC has ordered the flying of its flags at half-mast at its headquarters, offices in the nine Niger Delta states, and the Abuja liaison office.",
